The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it will soon inform Nigerians of its decision on the embattled Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Abia State and his counterpart in Sokoto State.

INEC spokesman, Festus Okoye who made this known in an interview with a news media said that very soon, the commission will take a position relating to what happens to them.

 

Before the March 18 governorship elections, INEC withdrew the REC in Abia, Ike Uzochukwu; and his Sokoto counterpart, Nura Ali, for allegedly endangering the process by ineffective logistics and for failing to make declarations for all the National Assembly seats respectively.

 

The electoral umpire said the two RECs committed the offences during the February 25 poll and did not allow them to officiate during the governorship and state assembly polls.
